Bentoing again

November 17th, 2008 at 09:57 pm

I had to do it, despite having to run out of the door at 5:30am everyday. The 5 lbs that I lost after 5 excruciating week of (torture) exercise, I gained all back by eating fast food while I ran from one job to another. I ended up spending quite a bit of money and eating a lot more than I had been eating. It's probably why the weight came back so quickly.

Mmm, I love me some good bentos. I wish there was a place that sold bentos near my work place. I wish I had enough motivation to make my own bentos.

Can you prepare them the night before and leave them in the fridge already packed? or, maybe at least leave stuff in individual portions where they'll be easy to grab in the am??

Yeah, that's what I would do if I was making bentos. Make them the night before. I guess I'm just getting really lazy. Hehe. But lately, I'm hooked on premium instant ramen, so that's what I'm eating, and they don't require any preparation.

I suppose that's not a bad thing in that at least they're cheap.

LOL, I have the same tendency as you BA, but since I'm a girl and all that, I have to put in the extra effort.

miclason: When I'm really desperate, I just stuff leftovers in there and hope they turn to room temperature by the time I eat it. It won't matter much if I use a glass or plastic container, since I can microwave them at work, but the lacquered one is not microwavable. It would be logical for me not to use the lacquered box, but the cute box and the beautifully arranged food are what motivated me to make bento in the first place. Preparation is usually done the night before, but it still takes time in the morning and that's especially not fun for natural night owl like me.

LOL! I hear you! ... I don't really "do" mornings... I get up because I "HAVE TO"... I'd rather work at night...
so, yeah, I prepare as much ahead as I can the night before... hey, 5 more minutes in bed are 5 more minutes!
